the australia effect

big thanks to bridget from windsor, for stopping, turning around, and offering to fix my flat tire in the middle of nowhere, just because!
this kind of open, friendly helpfulness is what i’ve come to know as very typical for australians!

in other, bike-related news, i’ve just used up a full kit of tube repair patches for flat tyres.
that makes 5 patches plus bridget’s extra one, and one or two new tubes in a total of just 2.5 months of cycling in australia.
there are definitely lots of sharp and pointy things around here!
